Mercy Kagia is a Kenyan born artist currently based in the UK. I featured her in my artist research during the Reportage module as that is her forte, but her work also encompasses drawing animals.
Her animal studies are quickly done, stylized pieces that capture the shape, mood and motion of the creature.
John Banovich is an American born painter with phenomenal skill at capturing the likeness of animals all over the world. He has travelled to Africa many times on research trips and tries to use his art to raise awareness for those species in very real danger or facing extinction.
His work is beautifully done, capturing the exact likeness and energy of the scene.
Donna Crawshaw is a UK born artist based in Wales who specializes in capturing creatures in as natural setting as possible. She has portrayed many different types of animals found in and around the UK whether wild or domestic.
Her paintings are realistic and the subjects appear to be posed rather than caught in a specific moment.
Jan Adgie & Yvonne Lamden Cooper are both UK based, self taught artists who are members of many wild life conservations. They both produce art in similar ways with identical mediums (pastel and pastel pencils on velour paper). They have sold work up and down the UK as well as abroad.
Their work is soft, warm and realistic.
